I very much dislike that he spouts off at the mouth and at times does not think before he speaks/acts. What I do like is that he has surrounded himself with at least some people who I respect and that appear to have integrity. It is usually a good sign to me when a person is not afraid to hire people who are better than oneself - more capable. When I voted for Trump, I was voting for a successful businessman who wasn't afraid to face and speak out against the establishment. What I hope to get in time is someone who sees the value in integrity and honesty and pray that he might be on that path with his selection of VP and some cabinet members. I do believe in redemption........we shall see. All I know is that our country is more important than any one person and if we don't make an effort to stand together at some point, we are destined to fall.

Regarding the "liberal" media - seriously, you think Trump started that?? You're kidding, right? I've been talking about the liberal media since way before Trump. Now you can't tell me as a former conservative Republican that you have not heard or dealt with that before Trump came on the scene. Okay, don't get mad but I have to bring up Obama - you do remember how the media fawned over him and rarely reported anything that was negative. Now I do understand that Trump brings a lot of negativity upon himself, but this media appears to be hellbent on bringing him down and I don't think that is my imagination.

Thank you for offering links and for the opportunity to discuss. As far as the links, I do appreciate it, but really no need because I know of what you speak and understand what we are dealing with. The difference between you and me is that I have accepted that this is our reality. There is nothing at this point that I can do personally to change it, so I will continue to tread carefully, seek out truth, and hope for the best possible outcome. No one is perfect, and believe it or not, sometimes good can come out of some not so good people. Fighting it, by being bitter and angry, will accomplish nothing.
